Cocktail Friday: a Mojito

Cocktail Friday with a Mojito is a good start of the weekend. When I was in my twenties I used to drink Rum-cola’s (or Cuba Libres if you prefer that name) if I drunk a cocktail. A Mojito wasn’t popular at all in Holland. I don’t know exactly when I drunk this cocktail for the first time, I think somewhere in 2009 just before we went for a vacation to Brasil, the land of the Caiparinha’s. Rum is one of my favorite mixing drinks, so the Mojito easily became one of the more often made or ordered cocktails.

A Mojito is a fresh cocktail with the lemon and mint taste. It’s also a dangerous one, since you can drink it so easily, like lemonade;-).
Original the recipe comes from Cuba. It is said that probably it was first invented on the sugar cane fields in Cuba, but they also say that it’s original recipe was from the 16thcentury and was called “El Draque” , after Francis Drake. It should help against all kind of tropical illnesses.

I guess we will never know what’s the right story, but today it’s one of the most made cocktails in the world. So it’s definitely something that I wanted to blog on Photos for foodies’ Cocktail Friday.
